We've been dealing w/ the aftermath of a typhoon at one of the orphanages that we support. Vijaya runs it, and I thought that I'd post this report for prayer. He sent this report:

Yesterday one of our orphan child while playing fell down and head injury accured. We immediately took him to the hospital for treatment. After two surgical sutures & dressing we bring him back to Home- one child is suffering with fever and motions (diarrhea). Due to floods cooking gas is not available. For 10days. Now by means of firewood we are able to serve the food to the children. Which is too expensive. Due to heavy rains electrical wiring short circuited and all the building wiring burnt out. During nights without current we are leading the days. For new it wiring costs Rs.6,000($143)- please pray for this.

My wife was was suffering with motions (diarrhea) & fever. Four saline bottles were injected in to her daily. Please pray for her health.

For this Month overheads, medical expanses, Firewood cost (30/- per day for 10 days), wiring cost, Hospital expenses for my wife Rs.2500($60), My children school fee Rs.8,000($190)- not yet paid. Please pray for the above needs.

Thanx, Chrio, for the update.. they're always appreciated, whether good or bad..
and either way the Lord is good! These fatherless and widows are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Vijaya sent this to me:

PRAISE THE LORD

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ brother David Johnson and sister Cindy Johnson. I am very greatful to you with the Grace of God and especially by your prayers.

The letter which you posted to me through e-mail was not seen by me, because my wife was in the hospital due to vomiting, motions (Diarreah) , fever. Thus I appointed (admitted) her in the hospital. She was in very serious condition. She was given cyclones(?). For six days she was in the hospital.

She had got this illness due to typhoon and flood because of this the water was polluted. More or less I spent 9 thousand and 4 hundred ruppes ($224) for her (This is paid in hospital) (Vijaya's parentheses)

Dear brother some people whom I don't know opened my e-mail and checked the letters. Because of these reasons I could not find out your letter which was in (the) inbox, therefore I have been waiting for your letter. So on Saturday checking my inbox, I found your letter.

Brother (in the) last letter (the) medical bill of my wife was Rs.2500 ($60)- But Doctor discharged my wife, the next day (she)started the vomtings and motions, again (admitted to) the hospital, staying 6 days. That bill amount is Rs.9400($224). I paid to paying the bill(?). Also, orphanage children got fever and vomiting, motions itching and wounds, each of these children was given treatment for 6 days. Since it is going on. So when I saw the amount which you send me. I prayed and worshiped the Lord. (We sent the $250 monthly support for orphanage expenses only, and $290 for typhoon related expenses)

Brother I paid Rs.5,600 ($133) for the medicine of the children. Brother really I don't know how I have to express my heartfelt thanks to you. We are very thankful to you we express our heart felt thanks to you and for Sister Cindy. (He knows that forum and church members contributed)

Brother pray for give me for the amount which I paid for my wife hospital bill 9400, sorry brother without your permission.

Brother the help which you sent I spent Rs.9400($224) for my wife's hospital bill and 5600 ($133) for the orphanage children medicines and hospital bill totally 15,000($357)

Brother you sent 10877 rupees for the use of the orphanage children. I spent that amount for the provision of the orphanage.
I did not spent even one rupee for anything else except for the benefit of the orphanage children. Brother I will sent to you the provision bills.

Orphanage conditions

1. Brother I am writing the condition of the orphanage. There was no power for one week to the children. The wires of the orphanage buildings were burnt out. I have already sent the email to you brother about the building I told to the owner. He replayed to me that he could do nothing. There fore we have to spend at least 6000($143) for the wiring. Brother immediately you send money for the wiring children are studying in the light of candle please help me for wiring cost.

2. Brother up to today the children are living in dark. Brother another thing is here the water is polluted due to the heavy rains. When we use these hand pumps water, the red marks are coming on the clothes and alergies came to the children when they took baths. Brother our hand pumps have got only twenty feet of depth inside the earth. Due to this reason the water is polluted. The Government officers came to our village and suggested us to send the hand pumps upto 100 feet depth then only the good water comes to all people in our village. Started putting the hand pumps into 100 feet depth. Brother immediately we have to sent the two pumps into 100 feet depth.

Brother we have only two pumps in our orphanage. The estimation of each pump is 1 feet pipe cost 50 ruppes ($1.19)

100x50 = Rs.5000 . ($119)

extra material = Rs.1000 ($24)

for the worker Rs.3500 ($83)

Total Rs.9500 ($226)

The total amount of two pump sets cost is 19000 Rs ($452) brother I humbly request you please you could help as soon as possible. Because I can't buy the mineral water for the children daily please you could pray for it and support for this institution.

3 Brother the building of the orphanage children is not upto the mark. The water goes inside the house when it rains. So we have to repair the whole building once again please you could pray for it.

4. Brother the fourth thing is this I only provided to each child one bed sheet starting in they got spoiled. Because of this geany rain and flood the children spoiled the sheets. Now they are suffering from the mosquitoes and from the cold.

Please you could send 30 bed sheets and 30 blankets please you could pray for it and help for this essential need.

Brother in our village the flooded water is slowly deceasesing. Brother due to this so many people of this village got various kinds of diseases. They don't have anything to eat so many people are losing their heath due to this things.

They don't have any work to do. Now they are having famine. Brother my fellowship (assistant pastor) prakash from karampudi. His father died in flood. Please pray for him and his family.

Please pray for us. Please tell to sister cindy and tell her to pray for us. Grace orphanage children tell or greetings for you and for sister cindy. And my wife Rubi Grace and myself and the church believers send greetings to you and to sister Cindy.

Of the $290 sent for the typhoon, he spent:

$284 = $60 + $224 for hospital for his wife

$133 for the medicine of the children

$417 total above spent 417-290=127 deficit
_________________________________

He needs yet:

$143 electrical repairs

$226 X 2 bore wells deeper

$127 deficit from above

$496 total above needed (To fix just one well) Also there is the need for 30 blankets and sheets.

Can we raise this? $20 of it has come in since I sent the money several days ago. They go deeper in debt each month, and can't handle this.

Do you know someone that you can present this to? You can copy the address bar and send it to someone, or take it to your church leadership, or to a business owner that God has blessed. One elderly lady in our church gave three one dollar bills in an envelope.

Please pray.

I'll be praying as well......

I am also praying, David... prayer is powerful in numbers! AMEN!

Praying.

Vijaya Got the well dug! Here's his report:
